Dr. Whooves was looking over his monitors and tapped his chin before feeling a sudden chill. "What in heaven's name? Derpy, are you playing with the freeze ray again? I told you, it's an experiment and all it does is shoot cold air."

"No, I used it last week." she replied licking a popsicle.

"Then why's it so cold?"

"Windigos."

"Windigos?! But I thought Hearth's Warming banished them!"

Derpy pointed outside where a freak blizzard could be seen.

"What's going on?!"

That's when he saw a figure running. Dr.Whooves saw it's silhouette and decided to get him out of the harsh cold! He ran out while covering his face and pulled the figure into his home.

"Derpy, fill this tub with hot water and put him in, make sure his head is above water."

She nodded before she turned the taps and let the rub start filling up.

The doctor took the liberty of preparing hot coco with some Peeps Candy marshmallows.

Derpy carefully put the figure in the water to warm him up.

The warmth allowed him to wake-up. "Huh?"

"You're alive Spike! Yay!"

"Where am I?"

"You're in the Tardis, the Doctor's time machine."

"Time machine?! Derpy, we need to go back to the day Hearth's Warming was invented, pronto!"

"I couldn't agree more." spoke Dr. Whooves handing the coco to the dragon.

Spike then got out of the tub and onto a nearby chair as he drank his coco.

"Someone must be messing with time, and if we don't stop it, all of Equestria might be frozen solid."

Then they all zoomed through the time stream. The Tardis reappeared in a snowy area with the three stepping out with scarfs.

"This should be the place! Allon-ze!"

"Bless you." spoke Spike.

"It's Prench for let's go."

"Ah...choo."

"Gesundheit."

The three trekked through the snow while pushing against the cold. That's when they saw a pony in modern looking clothing.

"You there!" called the doctor.

The pony then looked at them and then ran!

"After him!" As they chased after the pony, Spike noticed they were near the cave where the ponies became friends.

"Isn't this cave familiar?"

"Great wakering stallions, that play was accurate! Spike! You see what our perp has done, we'll continue pursuit! Allonz-Y!"

Spike watched as the doctor and Derpy ran and turned to the cave. Spike found his way in, as the 3 assistants were close to death. "What happened here?"

"T-T-T-They f-f-f-f-froze." spoke one of them while shaking in cold.

Spike then used his fire to warm the dying trio. Each one started to relax with relief before he turned to the frozen trio.

"Are you going to unfreeze them?"

"Nah, something tells me you 3 got this."

"Why? You're a dragon, you can unfreeze them much faster."

"Trust me, now tell me, do you think the 3 tribes should be separate or unite as one?"

"Well, fighting seems to only push us deeper into trouble."

"I don't want to fight."

"Since we're agreeing with each other...feel like being friends?"

"Sure."

Spike stood there as they smiled and then hugged. He turned and saw the ice slowly melting. 'There we go.'

Soon they all watched as the three leaders thawed out and looked around in confusion.

After an explanation, the leaders decided to give friendship a try, even bringing Spike into the group hug.

Afterwards they headed back to the village to tell the great news.

The Doctor, Derpy and the perpetrator saw the snow thaw.

"Oh drat! Next time Doctor Whooves!" Then he pulled out a mini time machine and escaped.

"Woah! Who was that?" asked Derpy.

"Must've been an ally of The Master...well, time is restored, let's go retrieve Spike." he and Depry turned and walked back towards the village.

"You're a very cute dragon." Said Princess Platinum. Platinum's coat was a lovely coat of purple, pink eyes and platinum mane and tail.

"Heh, thanks." he smiled bashfully.

"Anything you want, I'll give it to you for helping us find peace."

"Well there's no need. I just did what needed to be done."

"Won't you please stay? I would love to get to know what the hero of us six is like."

"Well, I'm not sure. I mean, I'm not from around here and I might have to head home soon."

"What if I came with you?" she smiled. "Unless you feel shy around a princess."

"Hah! I know 6 Princesses and they don't scare me." he covered his mouth at seeing her eyes widened. 'Oh no!'

"What do you mean 6? Hmm...there's Celestia, Luna, I think they adopted a pegasus, then there's me making 4..."

"It was a mix up! I meant four."

"So, you know Celestia, Luna and their brand new niece?"

"In a way."

"Interest..."

"Spike, time for us to head back to our time." spoke up Dr. Whooves as he and Derpy ran over.

"SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII...."

Then the world explodes!

"Whoops, world blew up...uh...time for a take 2 everyone." Said Discord as a bunch of creatures started repairing everything to redo the scene. "Alright...take 2...and action!"

'Aw-man, busted!' Spike thought to himself.'

"Time? What does he mean?" asked Platinum.

"We're from the future." Spike groaned.

"The future?"

"We came here to the past to save you guys and make sure you guys became friends."

"T...That makes no sense. Magic that affects time can only be done by an alicorn princess."

"Well, we have technology..."

"What is technology?"

"Machines?"

"What's a machine?"

"Contraption?"

"A contraption?"

"That allows us to go to other times."

"You speak gibberish."

"Actually you majesty, it is quite true, feel like seeing it for yourself."

"Really? I can come?"

"Of course you can, I mean, if 13 versions of myself teamed up to save the universe, I see no way you coming with us would affect anything."

"Excellent, I'll have my royal double become the new me."

"You sure this is a good idea?" whispered Spike as Platinum rushed off.

"As long as The Master doesn't try anything, yes."

"Back." spoke Platinum without her crown and cape.

"You work fast." Said Derpy.

"I'm the ruler of the unicorns, my magic is much stronger and therefore I work the fastest." she smiled with a proud tone.

"Well then, Allons-Y."

"Allons-Y indeed."

"You know Prench?" Derpy questioned.

"Oui, Madame pegasus."

Spike shook his head as the four started leaving the village.

As they were heading back, Platinum sat close to Spike. "I'm so excited!"

'How will I explain this to Twilight?'

Soon the machine stopped.

Platinum then held her hoof in front of Spike. "Mind escorting a lady out?"

"Uh, sure." he replied gently taking her hoof as they walked out with a light blush.

"And as we can see, Ponyville is back to normal, go me! Go me!" Cheered Doctor Whooves.

"Yay!" cheered Derpy.

Platinum looked at her new surroundings, everything was so peaceful. "Wow, it's so clear and sunny." Then she saw the buildings. "And all of the homes are in different shapes and sizes."

"Yup, welcome to the future."

"A lady could get used to such a..." Then the Mane Six crash land on a monster they just stopped from terrorizing the town. "Oh sweet Celestia!" she jumped.

"Don't worry, Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends are always doing stuff like this to save Equestria."

"Princess?"

"As I said...I know 6 Princesses but give the circumstances, you'd be the 7th Princess I know."

Platinum blinked and watched the mane six. "Is that alicorn this Princess Twilight you speak of?"

"Yep, she hatched me and we've been together since."

"Oh, so you're a blue blooded prince."

"Yeah, exa...wait, what?"

"A blue hooded prince." she repeated.

"Oh...never thought of it that way..."

"You never saw yourself as a prince?"

"Not really."

"Well then, Prince Spike, tell me...how would you court a lady?"

"W-W-What?!" he blushed bright red with wide eyes.

Then Princess Platinum got closer.

"I need an adult!"

"I am an adult, now, what are couples like in this day and age?"

Spike gulped. "Uh, maybe I could show you around and you could see for yourself?"

"Splendid." she smiled as Spike turned and started walking with herself following.

Platinum then saw couples eating out, playing, breaking up, or even making out. She'd see a stallion stand-up to someone who's being a jerk to thier mare or a mare standing-up to thier stallion's bully.

She even blushed a little to see same sex couples. "This....is all legal?" she asked the dragon.

"Yeah, the world's been so accepting lately."

"It's just so...different."

"Yeah, couples even test if their relationship is working by going out on dates."

"Dates?"

"Yeah, we go out, have some fun and if all goes well, a kiss."

She blushed. "Wait, you mean like on the cheek?"

"Cheek, lips, doesn't matter, if there's a kiss at the end, then you know you've done good."

'So daring.' she thought with a brighter blush hearing the lips as they kept walking. "So, would you be willing to test our compatibility?" Asked Platinum.

"What?" blushed Spike looking at her in surprise.

"I would very much love to see how moi would do with a gent like you."

"R-Really?"

"Of course, and I'll materialize a swimsuit for myself."

"What?"

"I'd like our date, at the beach."

"D-D-D-D-Date?" he squeaked out.

"At the beach."

Then he imagined him and her on a date at the beach. He pictured the two of them walking on the sand with a sunset in the far distance.

Then, at night as the moon shined down on them, take off thier swimsuits and...

"So are we in agreement?"

"H-Huh?" he spoke shaking his head.

"A date at the beach or not?"

"It's a date."

"Splendid."

"Just follow me."

Platinum shined a smile as she followed Spike. 'I wonder if swimsuits have changed as well?'

'I wonder if she's gullible to put on a string bikini.'

Soon they reached the nearby beach and Platinum's eyes widened. "Oh my goodness...has lust overtaken the swimsuits of today?"

"Well this is pretty normal."

"When I was a filly, my parents instructed me never to wear such revealing clothing, lest I look like a beach whore...but since this is the normal..."

"Don't worry, nowadays they won't judge you. Heck, you might get a few stares." he joked.

"Stares?"

"Yeah, you know because of how pretty your body would look."

She blushed and looked away.

"So, wanna try somewhere else if you don't wanna stick around?"

"No, I want to come here." she replied with conviction. So Platinum then took Spike to a changing tent.

"W-Wait! Shouldn't you change by yourself?"

"You're still a child aren't you? It should be okay for you."

"Hey! I'm more mature than just a little kid."

"So you don't want to see me change?"

"I never said that."

"Normally I'd slap someone for admitting they want to stare, but on this date, I will show I can adapt to this new world."

'Thaaaaaaaaaaank youuuuuu mom!'

"So, should I try to make a swimsuit like the other mares wear?"

Spike gulped. "Well, you don't need to, but if you want to fit in, go for it."

She nodded as her horn glowed. She then materialized a white bikini and put it on. "So Spike, how do I look? On both sides?"

"W-W-Wow." he got out with wide eyes.

"Thank you, now let's go out there, shall we Spike?"

He just nodded and followed her out.

Then as they exited, Snips and Snails dropped thier jaws, while Spike and Platinum ignored them.

"Woah." Snails got out.

Spike and Platinum walked next to each other. All the while they noticed mares and stallions staring with open jaws as they passed by.

"Daaaaaang, how did Spike bag such a sexy babe!"

"How does a mare even become that hot?"

"Is she royalty? She looks like a model."

"She must be the great great great great.........great grandaughter of Princess Platinum."

'Oh if only they knew.' thought Spike with a chuckle.

They then set up their umbrella and blanket.

"So Spike, what would a boy do for a girl when at the beach?"

"Well, it varies. They could get a drink or snack if the girl's hungry or thirsty, or...."

That's when the lifeguard appeared. "Hey babe, why don't you leave the short stack and get with me?"

"Excuse me?"

"Oh come-on, gorgeous babes such as yourself should be with hunks, not chu...." Then the lifeguard was balled up by Platinum and punted towards the lifeguard tower.

"Hmph! Seems there are still ruffians around." she huffed.

"Yeah...bullies are always around because they have things that make 'em superior to others or just want get attention."

"Do you abuse the fact you know 6 other princesses to bully others?"

"Never."

"Good." she smiled. "Now what was that other thing you mentioned boys do for the girls?"

"R-rub sunscreen on them so their skin d-doesn't get sunburn?"

She blushed as both looked away from the other. "Well...if that's what you do...then please, let's touch as much as we can in public."

Spike got a nosebleed from the way she said that. Spike then got a huge glob out of the bottle. He rubbed his claws together as Platinum got on her stomach with her back facing him.

Spike hesitated, but he went for it! He brought his claws to her back and started rubbing the lotion all over.

She tingled from feeling his scales and the sunscreen. "This is....new."

"It's new to me too." Spike said to her. "Your coat's really soft and fluffy."

"Your scales are hard and jagged."

Spike frowned.

"But I'm sure you're very strong."

He smiled and moved faster to spread the lotion.

"Mmmh..." she smiled. "This feels really nice."

"You can see why some call this romantic right?"

"I've had massages from subjects in the chambers that led to some warm sessions...however...they never felt this firm."

Spike blushed. "Uh, what do you mean by...warm sessions?"

"When you're a teen, I'll show you...but for now...I think my back is covered. Thank you very much Spike."

"Oh, no problem." he pulled his claws away.

"That felt wonderful."

"..."

"What?"

"Platinum, you're a goddess of beauty, and I, a mortal just touched all around a goddess of beauty, I am very lucky, yet stallions will want to kill me out of jealously."

She blushed brighter hearing that.

"Uh...f-feel like making a sand castle?"

"Why yes, did you bring a shovel and bucket?"

"Well, no."

"Oh, poo..." Then she noticed ponies with surfboards. "Oh-my, did that ridiculous sport become popular?"

"Yep, with thrill seekers."

"Ooh! I've always wanted to try that." Then she used her magic to bring a tree and carving to them and then used her magic to make a surfboard in no time.

"She has amazing magical power."

"You think Starlight now has a classmate?"

"Who is this Starlight?" she asked Spike.

"Oh, she's a unicorn with enough magical prowess to alter Starswirl the Bearded's time travel spell."

"A unicorn strong enough to do that?"

"Yup."

'Could she be a descendant?' She thought. "Oh, shall we go surfing?"

"But there's only one board."

"You're small enough for the both of us to ride." she reached the water and put him on the board. Then she began kicking her feet as they went towards a wave.

Spike held on while she stood on her four limbs.

They caught a wave and were on it.

"I'm hanging 4." Said Platinum.

"Hah, I'm hanging 6."

"How?"

"Reptiles have 3 toes on both feet."

"Show off." she teased. Then she nuzzled him from behind.

He blushed before holding on as she started moving the board around with her magic.

They then used the board as a ramp and now jumped above the wave, avoiding the shark.

"Woohoo!"

"Wait, what about the shark?!"

Platinum then levitated the shark and launched it all the way to a huge grill that needed something for thier luau tonight. "Better?"

"Yes."

After heading back to shore and having grilled shark, they then decided to go to the castle.

"Today was splendid."

"Yeah, I had a lot of fun today with you."

"So, since the date went well...does that mean...?"

"We're compatible?"

Then Platinum smiled and pulled Spike closer with her magic.

He blushed at seeing their faces so close.

"Will you make a move, or must I?"

"Uh, I could?" Spike puckered his lips and moved in for the kiss. Thier lips touched and then Spike pulled Platinum in closer. 'My first kiss.'

'The scales of his lips feel much better than the rest of his scales, but I'll learn to love it.'

Both kept it up before breaking away.

"Th-that was...very good...most girls tend to not kiss on the 1st date."

"Well, I'm not like most girls." Then she kissed Spike again before making it to the castle.

"Well...better get that guest room ready..."

Then after Spike found a room for her, they laid in thier beds thinking of each other.

"I think I'm going to enjoy this future."

"I'm so lucky sometimes."
